Observation guide		Theoretical inspiration
Situation
	Who is present (participants)? What is the patient-clinician ratio? Clinicians: Which clinical professions are represented? Patients: How many are present? How long have they been in treatment? What eating disorder diagnosis do they have? Others: Are others present, such as relatives (eg, parents), partners, friends, medical students, or others?		SDTa
Participants
	How do participants (patients, clinicians, and others) appear? Mimicry: Which emotions do participants appear to display? Verbal communication: What is the tone of voice and choice of words of participants? Nonverbal communication: What body language are participants using? Do participants have eye contact? Does participants' body language change markedly during the session?		CBTb
Interactions
	How do participants interact in relation to Recovery Record (RR)? How, why, and by whom is RR brought up during the treatment session? How is the patient-clinician relationship seemingly affected by RR in the session? Do the participants' mimicry, verbal, and nonverbal communication change when using RR?		SDT
Activities
	Which activities in relation to RR are taking place? Which specific RR activities are taking place? Do activities differ in individual versus group settings? Are specific RR features talked about differently in individual versus group sessions? Who initiates the specific activities relating to RR? How does RR influence any other activities taking place?
